Yes it's a CF hood, T701jz (Noel) put in the vent over the turbos, my gf's dad helped me put in the vent over the high pressure zone.
Both vents are completely functional, although the vent over the high pressure zone is much more important and far more functional. I will disregard the fact you compared my car to a civic.
If you're having problems with heat in the engine bay, the first thing you should do is get some exhaust heat wrap. It will make the biggest difference in underhood temps. A proper front undercover will also make a difference in cooling (and improve hwy mpg) if you currently have no undercover.
Thanks for the compliments!
